Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with where rodents are found and how extensive the contamination or entry points are. Simple inspection and baiting are typically less expensive than attic cavity work, decontamination or extensive proofing, and callout and labour charges are usually applied separately. After-hours or difficult access often increases the overall price.
Infestation location and severity
Attic or cavity infestations usually need more time, PPE and disposal work than a simple indoor baiting.
Extent of contamination
Heavy contamination can require multiple technicians or return visits, whereas light infestations are often resolved in a single visit.
Access complexity and roof access
Work accessed via a standard scuttle is assumed, but complex roof access or difficult entry can add scope and time.
Exclusion and proofing scope
Modest sealing with mesh and sealants is generally included for proofing, while larger carpentry or roof repairs are out of scope.
Timing and attendance
After-hours or emergency calls typically attract higher rates, and callout and labour are usually charged separately.
